Help me with bricked Prime - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Hello all I recently received a bricked prime from a noob who did not know what they were doing. I tried the method Option 1A from the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088. As I am unable to boot. Here is what happens and what I have tried.
The tablet turns on and goes straight into recovery, I attempted to run the adb commands from the above thread to no avail, because adb can not detect the device, I have installed the naked drivers for the device on my windows machine with no luck either, windows says Unknown Device, unable to start.
There are no additional roms on the sd card to attempt to install one, I am not sure how to place a rom onto the tablet in recovery or through the pc.
Thanks for any help in advance

Sometimes windows saying Unknown Device and you can't install naked drivers is a faulty cable. It will still charge but give the symptoms you describe.
Try borrowing a cable or get a cheap one off eBay to eliminate cable.

You were right the cable did do the trick, windows recognizes it as "transformer" begins to install something, and when I check in device manager, it shows up as Transformer, but it has an error 28 no driver installed, it asked me to update, I tried to manually update to the naked adb interface driver and it gives me error code 10 device cannot start.

Fixed thanks again for the help.

Odin not recognizing phone...

I am rooting my friends phone using the proper thread, following all the directions, did this on my previous Fascinate, however I get into download mode, but Odin does not recognize it and does nothing....?
make sure you have the samsung drivers installed...
Everything is installed including the drivers, its saying the device is not being recognized even though the drivers are on my computer..
are u using the stock usb cable? Maybe try a different one. Also might want to try a different computer. Another thing go into device manager and make sure the drivers are indeed installed for your device.

Yes I am using the stock cable, and I have tried it on 3 different computers each one isn't working and a pop up comes up stating the usb device cannot be recognized or something close to that. Under disk drives on device manager it does show SAMSUNG HM500JJ but I dunno...this is weird maybe I just can't get this thing rooted..

I would try redownloading and installing the samsung drivers...try the drivers from section 1 of my guide in general section. If that still dont work then try another usb cable. The cables can be touchy with odin, especially if you coil it up all the time. Don;t ask me why, all I know is in the past 6mo this issue has been posted 50times or better. Usually its one of the things I mentioned causing the problem.

Yea that is the driver I have been using and I have uninstalled it and installed it probably a good 5 times. I just dont understand why it would be the cable if I plug it in and its giving the message "The USB Device cannot be detected" or something along the lines of that. I will try the cable for my HTC Thunderbolt tomorrow and see if it works. If that doesn't work then it looks like the phone won't be getting rooted because I don't have anymore cables to try and I am running out of patience
It has to be the driver...my htc thunderbolt works perfect and is always recognized and adb works too and recognizes my device

it wont automatically install...you have to click on the device in device manager and go to update driver, then manually push the google driver. After successful install it should say android device in DM.
I couldn't find the device in device manager...I mean the computer isn't going to recognize it anyways if there isn't any drivers installed?

If you have usb debugging turned on, usb cable plugged in, installed either the samsung driver or nexus driver and still get a "cant recognize device error" then either the usb port is bad on the phone or the cable is jacked. The problem is not the drivers...Lots of people use the drivers I suggested with no problems. I thinks its the usb cable personally because from what you describe, windows can tell something is plugged into the usb port, but cant tell what it is. Windows has to be able to recognize the device before you can install the drivers for it.

That could be...try cleaning the usb port on the phone...power of device, pull battery, then put some contact cleaner on a q-tip. If still nothing, then a replacement might be in order.

Unable to Install Universal Naked Drivers

So I have a TF201 with AndroWook HairyBean v1.0 on it. I did my initial install on a different computer so I have never plugged in my transformer prime to this computer (I no longer have access to the other computer). I have tried installing the Universal Naked Drivers 0.7 in several different methods and none work.
When I plug in my tablet I get an "Unknown Device" prompt. I have tried everything to resolve this, including uninstalling and reinstalling all USB drivers, restarting, etc. and nothing has worked.
I have tried navigating to the drivers themselves to right click install and I get the message "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation."
I have tired navigating to the "Unknown Device" in device manager and trying to force the installation of the drivers but I get the "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows x64-based systems."
This is on a Windows 7 64-bit Ult. All USB drivers are up to date. Any other suggestions before I throw my tablet at the wall?

I had this problem, turned out to be a faulty USB cable, try another one, maybe you could take your tablet to a sotre and ask if they can borrow you another cable and test it. Hope this helps.

Thanks. That is what I am hoping. I ordered one online (mine is starting to fall apart at the standard USB end anyways). I was getting desperate yesterday and tried flashing up to AndroWood HairyBean 1.2. It didn't help. I am now stuck without a recovery but access to fastboot so if it is just a cable problem I should be able to get it up and running, otherwise I may have just bricked my tablet.
So it was a faulty cable. Got a new one, can now see my device and was able to fastboot and push the AndroWood Hairybean update to it and we're all good now!
Glad to help.

I'm glad it worked! So do you have Hairybean 1.2? If so, could you tell if it has wifi ad-hoc support? Cause thats the only thing that's keeping me on ICS. Thanks.

[Q] Help restoring my rooted, S-OFF, moonshine DNA to stock

Hey!
This is my first time posting, but I have read tons of threads on here over the last year or so with my Droid DNA.
A while ago, I rooted my DNA, and unlocked the Bootloader, and used moonshine for S-OFF. I now want to undo all that I have done. Wiping data is no issue, I backed up all my info. I plan to get a new phone soon. Basically, I can't get adb drivers to work. So I deleted my drivers, and installed the ones mentioned in the thread linked below, and I can't find how to get these drivers to work.
My plan is to follow this thread, using step 3 (for moonshine). I have TWRP installed, and flashed the lock_bootlader.zip file provided there. I cannot get adb to work, however, for the next step. For example, "adb devices" returns no devices. And thus i cannot use adb commands. When I run "adb devices", it shows this. What do I do??
Thanks
Some more clarification:
I might also add that Device manager shows my phone as "HTC6435LVW", under "Portable Devices". It seems to recognize it as an MTP Device when I try to update the drivers, and won't let me update the drivers, because "The best driver software for your device is already installed".
In addition, HTC Sync Manager does not recognize my phone either. I should mention that I already chose "Reset Phone" from the Settings menu, and then also did a Factory Reset from TWRP.
I'm so confused by all this - Why can't I get ADB to recognize it?? I have been and will continue to be searching for solutions to this problem here on XDA and also on Google. And do I even need to do all this to give my phone back to Verizon?
Try getting the drivers from PDAnet. If you are using Windoze 8 or 8.1 , good luck.

I tried that, it gets stuck at the USB Driver Installation page, when it asks to connect your phone. I have USB debugging enabled, and I even installed PdaNet on my phone to try to use their "USB Mode". The DNA has not USB options for Mass Storage, etc like the pdanet driver help page ( pdanet . co / driver ) (It wont let me post a link because I'm a new user, sorry) tells me to look for.
Windows device manager does not recognize it as an Android phone, but instead as a portable device, could this be a problem?

Nexus 9, no OS, only TWRP, and can't connect to PC

So... now that I think with hindsight, I did something pretty stupid, and I'm going to need some help, since I have no idea what to do.
I have a Nexus 9 tablet, and I never liked it. The OS is just so slow and laggy, and it overheats, and it has many other problems. Quite a couple of times, I installed custom ROM's and so on, and I never had a problem. Let me explain what I did now.
Around a month ago, while looking on the internet, I heard this thing that if I install the original software, but with no encryption, it would work better. It sounded cool at the time, so I downloaded the Nexus Root Toolkit, and did it.
Everything went well. But then I heard about a custom ROM that was apparently working even better, Dirty Unicorns, so using the same toolkit, I installed it. For the first time, my Nexus 9 actually worked the way it is supposed to work, but the custom ROM still had its problems, it crashed from time to time. I was thinking about possibly returning or selling the tablet, so that's why using the Toolkit, I reinstalled the original software. But, if I went all the steps, and also locked the OEM, my device then showed a flag saying that it was a development device, while booting up. So, after messing around with the settings of the Toolkit a little, I decided to reinstall the software, but leave the bootloader unlocked.
But after some time, I reinstalled my Windows, and I also reinstalled the Toolkit. But that's when I started to have problems. My tablet wouldn't connect to my laptop anymore. I used the toolkit and uninstalled drivers, reinstalling others quite a couple of times, and that's where I think that I messed something up. I managed to eventually connect my tablet, and I rooted it, after rooting it, I connected it again. But adb wasn't working for some reason. A little annoyed, I simply copy pasted the zip file of CM13 into my tablet's internal storage, and I rebooted it to the recovery, TWRP. But the recovery failed to flash it, saying something about an Error 7.
Now that I think about it, I was stupid, since after that, I performed a complete factory reset, resetting my TWRP backup too. I tried to connect it again, nothing. It didn't connect at all. I plug it in, my computer doesn't even recognize that something is plugged in. No Nexus 9, no Android Device, no anything. I booted it in fastboot mode, and it worked, my computer recognized it, and after I downloaded a ROM zip file again, I tried to connect the tablet back and flash it manually, but nothing. It didn't recognize anything anymore.
I tried to reinstall the drivers countless times. I deleted what I had, reinstalled it, nothing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Toolkit. But strangely, now, even if I know that I installed the Google USB drivers, and the ADB drivers, as I even installed Android SDK, if I use USB Deview, it doesn't show me any of them. I can't see any Google or ADB drivers, although I tried installing them multiple times. So now, I'm stuck with a tablet with TWRP and no OS, which I can't connect to my PC, and I can't use ADB or fastboot.
Is it something from my laptop? I can't check to see if it will connect to another PC right now, so I don't know for sure. Is there any way to delete all the traces from my (failed) attempts at reinstalling the drivers, and to install them again properly? Or is it something from the tablet itself? I don't have an OS, so I can't enable USB debugging.
So, shortly, I have no idea what's happening. And I'm quite obviously a noob in all of these. Can anyone help me? Please?
If you boot into the bootloader and from a command prompt type fastboot devices you don't get anything?
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I still couldn't get ADB to work, but I managed to work out fastboot. It may be something from my USB cable, it works perfectly.
I flashed the original software back, and I'll go to check my cable, although I feel kinda stupid that I didn't think about that in the first place.
Thanks for the help anyway.
If fastboot is working and bootloader is unlocked, you can still install a factory image.
Depending of your device download for wifi Version:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/volantis-mob30p-factory-2cb57a1b.tgz
If you habe the LTE variant:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/volantisg-mob30p-factory-ae9ce05a.tgz
Extract the files and put them into the same directory link fastboot and execute the flash-all.bat
WARNING: Any data will be erased!!! Also TWRP
Now it should boot up with stock firmware.
If you want your device decrypted install twrp. format the internal storage and flash the pure nexus rom which i can highly recommend and is decrypted by default. Dont forget do flash gapps
my issue is same
what if someone USB- debug is not enabled , is there any possibility to do that , i have a device nexus 9 , rooted it it went into bootloop then i factory reset it , and now my adb is not communicating , if there is any options?

Yup. I can boot into the bootloader, and from there (or from TWRP) into fastboot, but no computer I've connected it to (and I've tried many) will recognize it. Doesn't show up in Device Manger or lsusb, doesn't show up from either "adb devices" or "fastboot list devices" (the latter just hangs there saying "Waiting for any device"). The USB on the tablet itself is fine, and I even replaced the USB daughter-board just to be safe.

Hi, uberSkeptic...
Just a quick thought... Have you tried a different USB cable?
Rgrds,
Ged.
Edit & Additional...
The command is not fastboot list devices... it's fastboot devices
One last point... Ensure your Nexus 9 is definitely booted into fastboot mode and not just HBOOT (the bootloader). Take a look at the two screenshots below - your Nexus 9 should look like the screenshot on the right, the one with my green explanatory text.
Apologies for the poor image quality; there's no way of taking a screenshot in the bootloader, so I had to take photographs instead.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Thanks for the advice and going so far as to photograph the hboot/fastboot screens, but unfortunately I have indeed tried multiple USB cables, including the OEM's and I've definitely successfully gotten the tablet into fastboot but it doesn't show on the computer with either fastboot command (devices or devices list).

I'm out of ideas then.
One of my first thoughts was possible Windows driver problems, but as you mentioned you'd tried it on several different computers, that didn't seem to be a likely cause of the problem - I mean, you'd expect at least one of 'em to work! Maybe somebody else can help with a solution.

Sadly, me too. I even tried using a flash drive with a micro-USB connector on it, which I used to use to do nandroid backups, but now TWRP doesn't even "notice" that the USB drive is there (or any USB drive connected via an OTG cable).
Too bad, too - the tablet is otherwise in great condition and even has a custom-painted backplate (long story).
Thanks for trying to help, though!

Mmm... (scratches head, raises eyebrow quizzically)...
If I was Hercule Poirot and this was a murder case, and with all the suspects gathered in one room, prior to revealing a brilliant deduction... I'd be casting very dark glances in the direction of your Nexus 9's USB port right now as the likely culprit here.
Think about it. Different computers. Different USB cables. An OTG cable... And none of them work. What's the one thing they all have in common?
Answer: The USB port on the Nexus 9 itself, and where you've replaced the USB daughter-board.
Maybe, possibly, that replacement don't go so well. Maybe there's some unknown problem with it. I can't comment too much on this, 'cos it outside the scope of my knowledge - I'm a software guy; circuit boards and dismantling devices to fix 'em isn't something I'm comfortable with. I always think I'm going to damage something or rip a wire out somewhere, so I bow to your superior knowledge in this area, as I may be talking complete cobblers here. It certainly wouldn't be the first time.
Anyway... Sorry I wasn't able to help find a working solution for you. If anything occurs to me that might help, I'll be sure to let you know.
Rgrds,
Ged.
I would be suspect if the replacement as well if it weren't for the fact that I did it only AFTER the other symptoms/problems appeared. Hence the replacement (which is known good because the battery charges no problem). There cables and everything inside the tablet tests just fine... It feels like the firmware for USB is somehow corrupt or something.
Thanks for all the advice, though. ?
So I can't believe I didn't think of this before, but when I run "dmesg" from the terminal app included w/ TWRP, I see that there a TON of errors, mostly referencing problems accessing the recovery image. I could screenshot it, if anyone at all might be able to tell me a little more specifically what the dmesg log is trying to tell me...

Tablet bricked, its not visible on computer and no microsd

Hello guys, im really in trouble. I have a general mobile e tab 5 tablet and i'm living some problems. This tablet don't have an microsd card so i can't setup anything from microsd. Don't have an os and when i connect to computer it's not being visible. I setup sdk android tools, fastboot or smth. This didn't work too. I'm updated the java things and it's still not working. I can't wiping datas, it's giving error like "failed to mount '/cache' and '/data' (invalid arguments), Unable to mount storage" and i can't doing any little thing. Im totally stucked, no way, im thinking only i can fix it from terminal but i don't know what i should to write I don't know what i should to do. Really i need help guys. Also ADB sideload not working too as i said, it's not being visible on computer. (Sorry for bad English.)
Is it detected by your computer (showes in device manager) but no storage or is it not detected at all?
You may need to install/reinstall usb drivers for ADB?

I did everything, i deleted every usb drivers and setup again. At the same time i deleted from device manager every usb port and i setup again all of them. It's not detectable. In twrp MTP enabled and im opening adb sideload.
Just judging from the image you provided, it looks like your drivers are not installed properly. There are a few different drivers you can try, googles, Universal Naked Driver, Motorola, etc. I would suggest trying a different route than the one you took already. Your device is not being recognized, it must be related to the adb USB drivers.

I setup all of them, google usb drivers and also tablet usb drivers but nothing is working. I'm gonna cry actually.
Note: I think problem is TWRP. But another problem is computer is never seeing tablet because of TWRP. Tablet don't have a microsd card connection. No OS. Hard hard hard bricked. If i connect a USB Flash Memory to my tablet, can it work?

You could use flashfire download it from the playstore and download a new rom. Can you boot into os?
